sent in exchange for my honest review

For the month of June Polish Pickup's theme is Weather Phenomenon. Bee's Knees has went the cheeky route and choose the funny meme you see in the first photo as their inspiration for both products. A lovely pastel multichrome with holographic flakies and a tinted lip balm. The sale runs from June 7, 11 am edt through June 10, 11:59 pm edt

Lip balm: a tinted lip balm, this leaves a lavender shimmer on your lips while hydrating with Coconut oil and Jojoba butter. Lightly scented in a vanilla mint.
Ingredients: Jojoba Butter, Coconut Oil, Candelilla wax, and Vitamin E. May include: flavor and lip safe colorants.
$5, no limit or cap.

I love this lip balms formula. It's not the first BKL balm I've tried but it is the first I've reviewed because I promptly washed and dried my first one. Besides the tint they have the same formula. It isn't sticky at all, lasts for many hours even through eating. I have tried at least 4 other indie lip balms in tube form and this is my favorite. Somewhat firm but still easy to apply. This purple tinted balm can be used sheer or built up to be more noticeable.

Description: This is a pastel multichrome that shifts from pale green to a vivid blurple filled with holographic flakes to look like lightning.

I used 3 coats plus glossy topcoat. This was very close to being opaque at 2 coats but I have a very strong nail line that the camera likes to highlight even more so I did 3. Smooth easy formula, as always I love the rounded wide brush. Not too thick or thin, stays where you put it and doesn't run or pool, flakies lay down without manipulation.
